摘要

Metal-insulator transition in the Gd-doped (R_1-yGd_y)_1.85Ce_0.15CuO _4-δ systems occurred around y ∼ 0.1 for R = Eu and y ∼ 0.65 for R = Nd with a simultaneous structural transition from the tetragonal T′-phase (space group I4/mmm) to an orthorhombic O′-phase (Acam, a₀ ≤ b₀ ∼ √2a_t). The structural distortion is due to the lattice mismatch between smaller (R,Gd,Ce)₂O₂ layer and CuO₂ plane which results in an oxygen distortion in the otherwise perfect CuO₂ square plane. The phase diagram indicates that the superconductivity can only occur in the metallic T′-phase cuprates where the metallic state is controlled by a delicate balance between oxygen reduction and structural stability. The Cu²⁺ weak-ferromagnetic/canted-antiferromagnetic (WF/CAF) order observed in the insulating region is the direct result of non-180° α(Cu-O-Cu) canting angle of the O′-phase.
